Revenue Based Finance
The Company commenced its Revenue Based Financing ("RBF") business during the year ended November 30, 2015 and has begun to receive its monthly royalty payments from investee companies. At February 29, 2016, the Company had made 3 RBF investments, totaling $1,900,000, with a 4th investment of an additional $750,000, being announced on April 4, 2016.
The royalty income and related transaction fees from these investments have contributed in a positive way to the Company''s financial performance. The Company had $105,542 in revenue in this quarter compared to $Nil in the same period last year. This increase in revenue was primarily from royalty and interest income generated under the Company''s new RBF business.
The Company''s RBF investments are made into high quality growing software companies and investee companies are all current in their payments as of February 29th, 2016. TIMIA has security provisions contained within its RBF Agreements that are similar to other debt facilities, including rights allowing for declaration of default if routine monthly payments are missed.
Cash Position
As at February 29, 2016, the Company''s cash balance was $1,062,724 and working capital was $610,735. Included in the working capital amount is $917,246 of funds received from the sale of the dPoint Technologies investment. Further, $283,500 of convertible debentures were issued during the quarter.
Divestiture of Investment
Subsequent to the quarter end, on March 31, 2016, the Company''s investment in Espresso Capital Limited Partnership was redeemed at the Company''s option in accordance with the underlying agreement. The full amount of the investment, $485,000 was received as well as interest owing to the date of the redemption.
Outlook for the 2016 Year
The Company will continue to pursue prudent growth in its RBF portfolio while also carefully monitoring its existing RBF investments. Management will be monitoring each investment in the portfolio in terms of its growth against plan and other key financial metrics.
The Company will also seek to opportunistically monetize its equity investment portfolio.
The Company currently has no exposure to foreign currency denominated investments and should such investments be made, the Company would seek to reduce or eliminate currency risk via structuring or hedging.
"We are very excited about growing our RBF investment business in the first quarter of 2016 and we look forward to continuing this growth in the remainder of 2016" said Mike Walkinshaw, CEO of TIMIA. "At the same time, our first priority remains ensuring our portfolio is of the highest credit quality possible in our asset class."
